    I've been hearing a lot lately that cow's milk is unhealthy for human consumption. It is made for calves to get big or something to that effect.
    Well that explains why I have such big calves.

    2%cow milk for my coffee & occasional bowl of cereal. I do eat yogurt, cheese & cottage cheese. I use almond/coconut milk for my protein shakes because I wanted to save calories & I've gotten to enjoy the taste but I don't think I'd care for it in my coffee or cereal

    (I drink Almond Milk.)

    “Ingredients” Added to Cow’s Milk
    •A Veritable Hormone Cocktail: including pituitary, steroid, hypothalamic, and thyroid hormones (remember most cows are extremely stressed)
    •Gastrointestinal Peptides:
    Nerve and epidermal growth factors, and the growth inhibitors MDGI and MAF
    •rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone): a genetically engineered hormone directly linked to breast, colon and prostrate cancer. This is injected into cows to increase milk production.[1]
    •Pus: National averages show at least 322 million cell-counts of pus per glass![2] This is well-above the human limit for pus-intake, and has been directly linked to paratuberculosis bacteria, as well as Crohn’s disease. The pus comes from infected udders on the cows known as mastitis.

    •Blood Cells: The USDA allows up to 1.5 million white blood cells per milliliter of commonly-sold milk.[3] Yes, you are drinking cows blood in the milk and the USDA allows this!
    •Antibiotics: Currently, cows are in such a state of disease and mistreatment that they are continually being injected with antibiotic medicines, and rubbed down with chemical-laden ointments to deal with their chronic infections. Currently, regulating committees only test for 4 of the 85 drugs in dairy cows. This means that the other 81 drugs in cow’s milk are coming directly into your glasses and bodies. Estimates show that 38% of milk in the U.S. is “contaminated with sulfa drugs or other antibiotics,” according to a study by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest and published in the Wall Street Journal on December 29, 1989. A study from the FDA data showed that over half of all milk was laden with traces of pharmaceuticals yet nothing has been done to control this

    I love cow's milk. I crave it. But I am also lactose intolerant, allergic to soy and nuts, and very much do not like the taste of hemp milk. SO- it is coconut milk for me. The rest of my family drinks cow milk though.
